In order to explore the micro-dynamic principle of radial deposition and adhesion behavior and analyze the effect-principle of the features in construction of rough tube surfaces on each link, a molecular dynamic model was established to characterize…
The gelation of emulsions is a notorious problem during the transportation of crude oil. In this study, the impact of dispersed water on the paraffin crystallization behavior in waxy crude oil was investigated using the mesoscopic dissipative…
Solidified natural gas technology shows significant potential for storing safely multi-fold volumes of natural gas in clathrate hydrates, but the main concern is the stochastic and slow process of hydrate nucleation making it unstable and…
The hydrate morphology pattern plays a critical role in the reactor design for hydrate-based gas storage/separation technology. This work investigated the morphology of mixed methaneTHF hydrate formation using salt water (3.5 wt % NaCl) instead of…
Successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) is a convenient and versatile thermal fractionation technique that has been extensively used to characterize the chain microstructure of semicrystalline polymers. In practical applications, commercial…
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) platforms mitigate the paucity between peaks in consumption and supply, i.e., they absorb thermal energy during periods of excess supply and release thermal energy during periods of deficit. Phase change materials (PCMs)…
The melt blending method was used to prepare EVA/asphaltene particle composite pour point depressants with different blending concentrations. Through rheological and pour point experiments, the effect of EVA/asphaltene composite pour point depressant…
